Dr. Ronica Jacobs (Dr. Ro) transforms our understanding of resilience, challenging the notion that it means pushing through hardship without showing emotion or asking for help. She shares her journey from defining resilience as toughness to recognizing it as self-awareness and knowing when to seek support.
• Resilience is unique to each person and manifests differently depending on individual circumstances
• True resilience involves giving yourself grace rather than demanding perfection
• Emotional intelligence is crucial for building resilience and healthy relationships
• Survival mode keeps us in our "reptilian brain," preventing effective problem-solving
• When chaos becomes familiar, we subconsciously recreate crisis situations
• Children need explicit teaching of emotional skills alongside academic development
• Coaching provides objective support that friends and family often cannot offer
• Authenticity means staying true to yourself rather than adapting to please others
